BuyCostumes.com : Candyland Girl Costume Review

Oct 03

I can hardly believe it’s already the first week of October and Halloween is less than a month away. This time of the year has the most exciting holidays back to back. Since I never have patience for anything, we even started putting out or decorations the last day of September! Halloween is going to be here in no time and I hate looking for costumes at the last minute. I can’t stand the long lines, crowds, going on scavenger hunts for matching accessories, and fighting for sizes. Last year I learned my lesson and started costume shopping online as early as possible. Once Toodie had an idea of what she wanted to be, I was on the internet searching away. This brings me to the popular online costume retailer known as BuyCostumes.com. Founded in 1999, this site has become the top retailer for costumes and accessories year round. I had the opportunity to review one of their costumes and looked forward to browsing their full collection of choices.

When I was asked to choose which costume I would like,  I HAD to include Toodie in the decision. As she has gotten older Halloween has become more exciting and eventful around here. Over the years she has been a few different things- a flower, ladybug, and Rapunzel the Disney Princess. We have been through quite a variety as you can see. This year I was hoping she would choose something a bit more unique so she wouldn’t look exactly like every child while trick or treating! While browsing through all of the toddler costumes in her size we both called out “Candy Land!” in unison. The Candyland Girl Classic Costume is described as being perfect if your little girl has a sweet tooth. How did they know? That’s my Toodie! This costume was adorable and can definitely be considered different. I can’t wait to get additional accessories and make this sweet fantasy come to life.

The Candyland Girl Classic Costume is available in both children and toddler sizes. In the below photo Toodie is wearing the 3T-4T size and even though she is tall and slim, it fit perfectly. At first, I was worried it was going to be too short but when we tried it on  the dress was long and hit below the knee. This whimsical costume retails for $24.99 on the Buy Costumes website. It includes the pastel dress covered in components from the popular children’s board game that we all know and love. Candyland is such a CLASSIC but I have noticed it’s been making it’s way back into birthday parties and play time. For such an affordable costume, I was very impressed with all of the details. There are noticeable lollipops, a colorful path, and the well known peppermint Candy Land logo tying everything together. It just goes to show you don’t have to give an arm or a leg for your child to have a good quality costume. Well maybe you do .. this is HALLOWEEN and limbs aren’t exactly guaranteed!

Buy Costumes has endless pages of affordable costumes for infants, children, teens, adults, couples, and even our pets. While regular sizes are offered, they also have a selection for plus sized shoppers as well. You can even find accessories and party supplies within their site. They have everything you need for Halloween! With their prices being as reasonable as they are, you can find costumes for your whole family and stay within your budget. 


Stop by the Buy Costumes website and get an early start on picking out your costume this year! You can also connect on Twitter and Facebook for spooky updates.

Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows Blu-Ray Combo Pack GIVEAWAY #DarkShadows

Sep 26

 
For years I have enjoyed watching Tim Burton’s quirky, strange, and just unusual films. Some of my favorites include Alice In Wonderland, Corpse Bride, and the classic Beetlejuice. His movies are far from mainstream and he has a way of mastering darkness. With quite a list of accomplished movies under his belt, Warner Bros. Pictures has recently announced the DVD & Blu-Ray release of his newest film, Dark Shadows. On October 2, 2012 you will be able to pick up this film and also the Dark Shadows Blog App. If you didn’t get a chance to see Dark Shadows in theaters let me get you up to speed with a brief description of this ghostly and silly family friendly movie. 
From the incredible mind of Tim Burton comes the hit film Dark Shadows, based on the classic television series!  Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) has been trapped for two centuries by an evil witch who just happens to be an ex lover.  Barnabas now has to struggle with the ever changing 1970s and help to save the family business. His dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection and fast.With an all star cast that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Grace Moretz, Jonny Lee Miller and more, Dark Shadows will be sure to whet your appetite for fun. This movie is full of laughs and a tiny bit of terror!


 
 

The Dark Shadow App allows you to explore the ever-so spooky Barnabas Collins and his family. Take the Creepy Quiz, challenge yourself with Barnabas’ Terrorific Trivia,  check your Horror-Scope, and browse the funny Memes from scenes in the movie. You can also view the Dark Shadows trailer and share with friends so they can get in on the fun too!
